All for the love of concrete!

Lately concrete decor accessories have invaded into the space of my attachment with design fitments. Concrete has a stark, exposed, silky, rugged demeanor that is a thrilling mix for architects and interior designers to work with. I am fascinated by its elementary texture and its unique fashion that results in one-of-a kind art piece. Recently I discovered the work of 'GWOSS', a design studio in Mumbai that creates handcrafted objects from concrete, reinforced concrete, cement, mortar plaster, textile, coir, paper and more.

GWOSS is the brainchild of architect Sidhant Dave, who merited from Raheja School of Architecture, Mumbai. 
Dome is first of a series of sculptural, pendant lamp that enhances the ambient mood. They are stand alone art objects. Lit with dim-able source, suspended at different heights, the basic form of this handcrafted dome has a singular presence and integrates well with its surroundings. The Domes can be designed in colours and customised light source, for indirect illumination, offering variant ambient moods.

Unlike the demure demeanor of the Domes, the Dome Distressed, have a stark, grungy impact and an arresting presence. It might give you a larger than life dynamic feeling of being in Gotham city, waiting for Batman to fly in!


Sculptured concrete Bowls make for amazing tableware. Cast from concrete these hand crafted bowls comes in varying shapes and forms. It is designed in neutral, concrete grey or can be coloured in applied art or pigment rendering to suit your decor. This tableware can double up for a stunning, centre-piece artifact in your decor or a wall hanging too.




Block clock, shaped out of a simple, module concrete block, is my favourite from the Gwoss series of art accessories. With its rudimentary texture the ticking Block clock works as a  personal curio display shelf too.



Hand made concrete design is an inquisitive viewpoint of art form and it is for the explorer who is ready to step out of the convenient design attitude. It has many delights of amazement and is a magical outcome of art and chemistry.

 If you are a design hunter like me who loves to head to stores but also saves up vital energy to discover custom-made, unexpected, niche then you would want to check out the variant moods of the ever growing range of concrete art which is heading to chide the standard outlook of art and decor. 
Note:
If you want to explore the bespoke experience of this gentle yet strident art at Gwoss, you might need to take an appointment, calling them at 9833856665, to visit them at their studio at Churchgate, Mumbai. You could connect with them at gwossmumbai@gmail.com requesting an e-brochure. Design hunting does not come without a bit of sweat, does it!?

    Oh My GWOSS! Who ever imagined decor Object De Arte' made of concrete. It's simply .. Bizzaire. Non-conforming. Unthought of. But that's ... Imagination. Creativity. Revolution. Very nicely written and illustrated bothering in words and pictures. I only wish the Batman doesn't really jump into the room with the Dome Distressed lighting effect on.

    Who'd have thought that such a stolid material could be used to craft such objects! Congrats Sidhant!

    Excellent work! I really like it. I never expect that we can make home interior decoration items in concrete. Let me know where I can Buy Cement Online?
